These are radiology workstations they aren't cheap.
Those dual monitors alone cost 10000. It's the most expensive thing in here.
Barco Nio MDNC-3421 3MP 21" Color LED General Radiology PACS Display
Barco® Nio MDNC-3421 3MP 21.3" Color LED General Radiology PACS Display (K9602861)
monitors.com
So I think it's closer to about 20000 worth of hardware in here.

Gpu prices are crashing like crazy with the bitmining crash. While affordable now just slightly below msrp, I'm still not budging til they fall half of their actual worth. That's me giving them the middle finger and wait for the actual fire sale.

I’m sure they’ll decrease as the new generation is released.
That $1,100 3090 seemed like a steal a week ago.
Seems like it’s becoming a buyer’s market.

It’s hard to buy the current cards with the possible improvements from RDNA2 or the 4000 RTX series.
Ryzen 4000 comes out Sept 15. Raptorlake I feel will be a soft launch. I want the 13900K.

The 4k series draws a lot more power, doesn't it?
I got mine for retail a little more than a year ago and I don't even play games so I'm probably good for a decade. Unless 8k vr porn is a thing then I'll upgrade

For RDNA2, for sure we get that noise cancelling and better Ray tracing performance.
Not sure what game changers the new RTX will bring besides higher power and more triangles…

I might possibly stick with rdna2 for awhile unless some new and further necessity requires more gpu power is needed for gaming. Possibly a consistent 4k 120fps when it becomes mandatory. 1440p will do for now and I could use some power efficient card. The new amd drivers seem to revive the older cards like they are currently gen. So extending the longevity of the amd gpu. I'm still torn on getting the 5800x3d cpu for my am4 system. Or just wait it out for 2 more years before I transition to Am5 system.

I'm saving up for a PC build for my son who is into Minecraft. here are the specs that I'm thinking off for it.
16GB (8x2) Ram
Asus PRIME X570-P
Gigabyte P650B PSU 80+ Bronze. 650w
currently, he's using my old Gigabyte P35X V4 gaming laptop which has an i7-5700HQ cpu and a GTX 980M gpu.
while still capable, the machine just runs hotter now all while running multiple gaming applications and VMs. even when in standby. the fans just go insane. tried cleaning up the fans and repasted the cpu/gpu. cooling solution just wasn't good enough imo and a design flaw. could have used a better and larger heatsinks and stronger fans as the unit shuts down due to overheating. too bad, the hardware is still good.

Is this overkill? Edit pictures maybe some videos and playing some fortnite.

overkill? not really. although I'm not that confident of spending that much for that GPU though considering of what's going on right now.Is this overkill? Edit pictures maybe some videos and playing some fortnite.

Yes its over kill for just fortnite
I mean I guess it depends on how much you love fortnite, and your display.

Fortnite is secondary ...
It mostly for photo and video editing.
What's going on right now?

Public service announcement - check if you have the bitlocker thing turned on and back up the code if you do.
I didn’t - and I just spent all day restoring my laptop because an update went wrong. Everything is in a cloud but it was just a waste of my time.

2nd to... editing pictures? Pretty sure you dont NEED a 3080 for that but I dont know **** about photoshop. Seems a bit much. If you were editing movies thats another story but they have Quadro for that I believe.

photo editing is pretty much using cpu resources. video editing is a combination of both but still mostly cpu task.

for practical and typical use, NO. for something aesthetics or you have money to burn, YES !
